Back to Ming Dynasty with Industrial Revolution System

Chapter 750 Strict investigation (one more)
"Suzhou chief soldier Lu Zhiyu kowtowed to the military lord, and he didn't know why the lord monarch suddenly appeared in Suzhou City, making his subordinates panic!" Lu Zhiyu saw Chu Yun with a group of captors, and was shocked by Chu Yun .

When Chu Yunliang revealed his identity, they wondered if someone had faked it, but Lu Zhiyu thought that it would not be impossible for the military leader to visit Nanjing City and Suzhou City, which is not too far away from Nanjing City. .In addition, people from the intelligence department also appeared at the scene after the musket incident, so Chu Yun's identity was confirmed.

"You don't need to be too polite. This time I heard that scholars and poets from the south of the Yangtze River gathered in Huqiu, Suzhou City to discuss poetry and books with each other. They intend to bring envoys from the high mountain tribes of Yizhou to watch the grand event in our Chinese literary world. But I didn't expect that Someone secretly assassinated the Yizhou envoy with a musket, which really disappointed me. I always thought that Jiangnan was a gentle and elegant place." Chu Yun said regretfully.

Lu Zhiyu was even more frightened.Under his rule, there was a musket case!And the assassin killed people in front of Chu Yun with a musket!
He, the chief soldier, is the magistrate of Jiangsu City, and he must be to blame for the public security incident.Not only him, I'm afraid some other officials of the Suzhou government will inevitably be implicated as well.

"Your subordinate is guilty, please punish him!" Lu Zhiyu's face was pale, his body covered in cold sweat, and he was ready to lose his position and be dispatched.

Chu Yun waved his hand: "Before punishing the crime, catch the assassin first. You brought the head arrester and yamen servants here, did you find anything?"

"Yes, my subordinates originally led several hundred headhunters and yamen servants to station at the foot of the mountain to prevent turmoil at the gathering of scholars, so they immediately brought people here when they heard the gunshots. It's just that there are many scholars in Huqiu Mountain. On the way, tens of thousands of scholars ran for their lives, and on the way, my subordinates never saw anyone leaving this place with a musket in hand." Lu Zhiyu replied.

"They may be using quick-fire pistols, and it is possible to hide them on their bodies." Chu Yun ordered sharply, "We must investigate this matter strictly! This matter will be led by the Intelligence Department and assisted by the Yamen of Suzhou Prefecture. In addition, I will dispatch The Fourth Corps came from Nanjing City, even if they dig three feet into the ground in Suzhou City, they still need to find assassins! Do you understand?"

"Yes, yes..." Lu Zhiyu replied submissively.

"Also, the assassin is likely to be among the scholars participating in the Huqiu meeting, and he will focus on them." Chu Yun said again.

"Yes." Lu Zhiyu agreed, but there were tens of thousands of scholars participating in the Huqiu meeting, and it was very difficult to investigate them all.

In this era, there is no fingerprint identification and surveillance video, basically we can only rely on on-site surveys and interviews with scholars attending the meeting.Tens of thousands of scholars inquired and it was like suffering.

The news of the assassination in Huqiu Mountain quickly spread like wildfire, which shocked the entire Suzhou City, and then alarmed the Jianghuai Chief Secretary, Jiangsu and Zhejiang Chief Secretary, and everyone turned their attention to Suzhou City.

"Why did the military leader go to Suzhou City!" Zhang Yandeng, the Civil Affairs Officer of Jianghuai Chief Department, got up after hearing the news, and the brush in his hand fell to the ground.

Since Chu Yun met him the next day, he has been staying behind closed doors. If there is any news, it is the Suzhou incident.

"Master Zhang, it's not good, a battalion of troops from the Fourth Corps is dispatched to the Suzhou government!" An official from the Jianghuai Chief Secretary hurried into the office.

"The Fourth Corps was transferred for no reason?!" All the senior officials of Jianghuai Chief Secretary present stood up.

Although the Fourth Corps is a regular army established by the Kyushu Army, it is directly dispatched by the military headquarters and does not need the approval of the Jianghuai Chief Secretary.But unless there is a major event, it is impossible to leave the defense zone easily!

The only one who could mobilize the Fourth Corps to leave the defense zone was Chu Yun, the leader of the Kyushu Army.

"This assassin must have angered the military leader, otherwise he wouldn't have called the regular army to hunt him down!" All the officials could infer Chu Yun's attitude through the transfer of the Fourth Corps!

"Damn assassins, they really dared to kill people in front of the military leader in Suzhou City!" An official from the Jianghuai Chief Secretary slammed the table fiercely.

"If I know who is instigating the assassin behind the scenes, I will definitely kill him!" Another official jumped.

I don't know how much this matter will be involved, and the entire Jianghuai Chief Secretary may be affected by it!
Zhang Yandeng saw that his subordinates reacted violently, and he was also very impatient: "Prepare the carriage, the old man is going to Suzhou City to meet the military leader."

"Master Zhang, your body..." Seeing that his boss Zhang Yandeng was going to Suzhou City in person, some officials couldn't help worrying about whether his boss's body, who was nearly seventy years old, would be able to take it.

"This case may cause a sensation in the south of the Yangtze River, and I have to go to the Suzhou government." Zhang Yandeng realized the seriousness of the problem. As the chief executive of Jianghuai Chief Secretary, he must do his best to control the impact of this incident.

Emperor Hongwu's Sapphire case involved more than [-] people who were implicated and killed. If Chu Yun learned from Emperor Hongwu about this matter, the consequences would be disastrous.

Two days later, the "Jiuzhou Daily" published in various prefectures in the south of the Yangtze River published the case, saying that when Chu Yun received the envoys of the high mountain tribes in Yizhou, someone tried to assassinate the envoys in front of Chu Yun in order to achieve the ulterior secret. The Suzhou government is investigating.

As the incident unfolded, residents in every city in the south of the Yangtze River knew about the assassination case, and the sales of the "Kyushu Daily", which had official records on the matter, broke through a new high, and almost everyone had a copy.

"Yizhou is a part of our China, and the envoys who came from there are our citizens. Someone actually wants to assassinate his own citizens with a musket. Who is so mad?"

"The assassin chose to attack at the Tiger Hill Conference. Could it have something to do with the people present at that time?"

"The newspaper said that the military leader was also on the scene at the time. If the guards led by the military leader hadn't blocked the guns in time, the envoy from Yizhou might have been killed!"

"It's abominable. Killing someone with a musket in Suzhou City. If you catch the murderer, you must tie him to a stone and sink him into Taihu Lake!"

The streets of Suzhou City are full of people discussing the assassination of Huqiu Mountain.There are also many police officers patrolling the streets.

Chu Yun took plainclothes people to check public opinion in Suzhou City.

"Military lord, almost all the residents are condemning the murderer. Our goal has been achieved. Can we start arresting the rebels, and then label them as assassinating envoys?" Ella, who had disappeared for a while, reappeared in Chu Yun around.

"Has the intelligence department locked the target?" Chu Yun asked.

"Yes, we have identified some targets before, plus the people who appeared at the Tiger Hill Conference, we can basically catch them all in one go." Ella replied.

"Then start closing the Internet cafes." Chu Yun said coldly, "None of them can escape."
